Identity Crisis

by Angie Braddock from the Amish Quilt Shop Mystery Series by Isabella Alan

Hi! I’m Angie Braddock the owner of Running Stitch, a
charming Amish quilt shop in the middle of Holmes County, Ohio. But I’m not
Amish… not even a little. I’m a child beauty pageant surviving, graphic designing,
cowboy boot wearing, French bulldog loving girl from Dallas, Texas. How not
Amish is that?

So how to did I come to own an Amish quilt shop in the
middle of the largest Amish community in the world? You will have to read my
new mystery series, the Amish Quilt Shop
Mystery Series, coming from Isabella
Alan in September. The first novel is call Murder,Plain and Simple, and it’s full of love, loss, danger, suspense,
wisecracks, and just about the cutest French bulldog who ever waddled across
the page. (How did I do on selling it? Want to read it yet?)

Like me, Isabella seems to have some trouble with her
identity. You see, her real name is Amanda
Flower. You may know her Appleseed Creek
Mystery Series, which includes the dreamy Timothy Troyer…but I digress.
Why’d Isabella change her name, you ask? Got me. Authors are funny that way,
but Isabella is telling my story so it’s best not to provoke her. She does kill
fictional characters for a living, and I don’t want to be on her hit list.

I’m happy to tell you that you don’t have to wait all the
way until September to read about Oliver, my Frenchie, and me. Nope. Coming
August 6th, Isabella’s publisher will release a prequel e-novella to
the series called Plainly
Murder. Personally, I believe it sets the series up nicely, but of
course, I’m biased. What I don’t like about this novella is Isabella sent this
Dallas girl to Ohio…in February. Seriously, that’s not the best time of year to
introduce me to my new home. Can we say cold? I’m shivering just thinking about
it.

I’m talking about my books coming up, and you must be
wondering about the covers for both book one and the novella. You can see them
on May 8th. We are having a big cover reveal on Cozy Mystery Book Reviews and Destination Amish. Isabella will be
giving away an Amish prize package on both websites, so you will want to check
that out.

Millersburg, Ohio, county seat of Holmes County

Looking forward to meeting you at the bookstore or library
or Kindle or Nook…. Really anywhere you can buy or check out books I’ll be
there.
